Delegate Toole, of Montana. who il

one state from the domain of Dakota
and II the same plan is followed in the

protest against the passage of the omni-
bus bill. This form of an admission

pose OF preventing Dakota's republican

II 1t becomes necessary, through polit-
ical manipnlations, the issue must be
met and fought out by the people OF

acts, but it cannot compel Dakota TO
accept them. Upon the final proposition
the voice of the people is absolute-they
oan go to the polls and vote down every
by which the present

poses statehood for that territory, In

The movement for statehood was in

the past attitude OF those who are now

more than probable that the question of

parties, democratic nor republican, so

gree OF certainty TO their support.

There is also much sickness in some
